[L-tryptophan as dietetic supplement and treatment for hot flashes, astenia, and insomnia in cancer patients].

Introduction: in women with breast cancer and gynecologic cancer, as well as in men with prostate carcinoma, hot flashes, asthenia, and insomnia are common and bothersome symptoms that impair quality of life. Objective: to evaluate the effectiveness of tryptophan intake as a treatment for hot flushes, asthenia, and insomnia in patients with prostate, breast, and uterine cervical cancer. Materials and methods: intervention study without a control group at the HUCA Radiation Oncology Service, from July 2018 to July 2019.

Low applicability of the ''Six-and-twelve score" in hepatocellular carcinoma treated with Drug-Eluting Beads Transarterial Chemoembolization.

Objective: The effectiveness of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) depends on the selection of suitable patients. The ''Six-and-twelve score" distinguishes three groups of ideal patients with different overall survival, based on the sum of the number and size of tumors. This may impact on clinical practice and trial design.

Ameliorative effect of black grape juice on systemic alterations and mandibular osteoradionecrosis induced by whole brain irradiation in rats.

Purpose: Whole brain irradiation (WBI) causes a variety of secondary side-effects including anorexia and bone necrosis. We evaluated the radiomodifying effect of black grape juice (BGJ) on WBI alterations in rats measuring food and water intake, body weight, hemogram, and morphological and histological mandibular parameters.

Materials And Methods: Forty male rats (200-250 g) were exposed to eight sessions of cranial X-ray irradiation.

Analysis of endovascular treatment of ruptured aneurysms of the middle cerebral artery compared to other anatomical locations.

Objective: The objective of this article is to compare the results of endovascular treatment of ruptured middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysms with ruptured aneurysms of other anatomic locations.

Methods: Fifty consecutive ruptured aneurysms of the MCA and 209 aneurysms at other anatomical locations were selected retrospectively. We compared epidemiological, clinical and radiological variables, prognosis and complications.

Temporomandibular disorder or not? A case report.

Objectives: The purpose of this case study is to show the need for a good differential diagnosis of suspected temporomandibular disorder (TMD) with otologic symptoms.

Methods/results: This study is a clinical case referring to a patient seeking treatment for pain in the right maxilla. The usual Medical History for diagnosis of a TMD was applied.

Anatomical results, rebleeding and factors that affect the degree of occlusion in ruptured cerebral aneurysms after endovascular therapy.

Object: To present a series of ruptured cerebral aneurysms in consecutive non-selected patients treated with endovascular therapy, analyzing the initial degree of occlusion, its anatomical evolution mid-term and the variables that could statistically affect them.

Methods: 251 aneurysms were first treated with coiling (embolization). 203 patients were followed up with conventional angiography for 6-8 months after the initial treatment and 182 were followed up with three-dimensional time of flight MR angiography at 18-24 months.

[Sarcoidosis presenting as partial seizures. Report of one case].

The nervous system is affected in 10% of patients with sarcoidosis. However, neurological disturbances are rarely the first manifestation of the disease. We report a 36-year-old woman presenting with partial seizures that generalized secondarily.
